Thank you, the latest snapshot did indeed fix the ClassCircularityError 
messages.

We have only one issue left with IKVM that I'll try to simplify (missing 
classes causing System.InvalidOperationException: get_Type), and some 
Classpath issues with date/time (that I'll probably have to fix), and 
then the ANSI COBOL testsuite will execute successfully.  After that, 
it's just a matter of building up the other Classpath libraries or using 
.NET classes directly.

Thanks,
Brian
